Today's technicians need to be total climate control management forensic scientists recommended service and repair procedures * Have fun, stay safe, stay cool and make some money. * Have a Great 2017 A/C Season. Thanks for Playing. ❆ After performing some basic system tests, we decided to check for current in the A/C clutch circuit. You can see in the above illustration, we had no current flow in the A/C clutch circuit. That led us to perform an OE available voltage test and proper ground performance test which was satisfactory. It was determined that the A/C clutch was open and required replacement. The picture top right indicates that we have (after the meter and probe math conversion) a reading of 3.26 amps and the A/C is operational. The scan tool data at right validates proper operation of the A/C clutch (lower right PID) while at the same time the A/C Pressure PID indicates an increase in system pressure as the clutch engages. IN SUMMARY * Next generation A/C systems are here and will continue to challenge our skills. * Determine your course of action by knowing what points in the circuit/system are easier to access. * Use Common Point Diagnostics whenever you can. * Exercise caution when working around sensitive electronic components. * Always follow manufacturer's Peter Orlando - Automotive Training Technologies Peter Orlando - Automotive Training Technologies should see between 3 and 5 amps. There is some math to complete in order to know what the amperage is. The way the meter is set up and the low amp clamp range selection determines we will need to multiply the reading by 10.
